Terrible Accident In a Mine,

POTTsvILLE, Pa. April IL
Miss Berlista Shanl, of Sharon
Springs, New York, a student of
Vassar College, with Miss Minnie
keiter, of st. Clair, a FELLOWSHIP
dent, accompanied by Harry Short
and Edwin Thompson, entered the
mine Of Chamberlain colliery, St.
Clair, this afternoon, and some
distance from the entrance an ex-
plOsiOn took place.
Miss Keitet's face was burned
beyond recognition. her skull aud
thigh fractured and ankle crushed.
Miss Shaul had a leg badly fractur-
Ell and was terribly bruised and
burned, but may survive. Shorts
head is mass of cufs and cOntu
siOns, and he is badly burned. He
remains unconscious. and his re.
covery is doubtful. Thompson is
painfully but not fatally bruised.
The supposition is that the party
carried a nakei lamp and encoun-
tered a body of fire damp. The
lady victims are about twenty years
of age, and both we're accomplished
and well connected. Miss Shaul
was to have been the yaledictOIian
at the coming commencement Of
Vassar College.

Remarkable Fatality Among Brothers.

MARTTNsDURG, w. Va, April
.12.-News has been received here
of the accidental shooting OF Ar
thur OFT, aged seventeen years, at
Manning's schoolhouse, Jefferson
county. Young OFT was cunning,
and in attempting to climb a fence
the gun slipped through his hands,
and, the trigger accidentally hitting
one of the fence rails, the gun was
discharged. The load entered un.
der the unfortunate Youths chin,
and caused his death in a few
hours. While he was at the point
of death dispatch was received
from Garrett, Indiana, stating that
his brother had been killed by the
cars. Two other brothers were
killed in the same manner as Ar
thur, being shot while climbing
fences. The three accidental shoot.
ings occurred within the past five
years.

of the murdered girl clothed in a

The funeral took place at the

English foundry.

OF course it is we'll understood
that England has free.trade, while
America protects its laborers by a
tariff, the main object of which Is
to collect reySsiiue for the support
of tie Government. Now, if we
were to abolish the tariff, it is plain
that we could not compete with the
English producers, unless we adopt
their scale of wages and increase
the number of hours that consti-
tute a days labor from eight to
eleven. What do American work.
men think of the proposition to add
three hours to each work day, and
at the same time to cut down their
wages from fifteen TO thirty-6ve
per cent? And yet that is the feast
to which the tree-traders invite
them. But even that is not all, for
if the tariff we're abolished a very
heavy direct tax would have to be
imposed upon persons and proper
ty in order to collect revenue to
support the government. Virginia's
share of the amount necessary to
be raised would be about $4,000
600, which would require a rate Of
taxation about double the present
rate imposed by the state. And
that would be in addition to all onr
present taxes. Who believes that
people could pay it
Here, then, is what free trade
means A heavy reduction in the
wages paid to all our workingmen,
a large increase in the number Of
hours they would be required to
work, and an additional taxation
of about double what they now pay.

4 CANNON BALL CATCH Err.

The latest thing in the catching
line is G. b. Blatt. a few days
ago a score of men climbed to the
TOP of the Police Gazette building
in New York to see this wonderful
catcher catch twenty-five pound
cannon ball fired from a cannon
with half a pound of powder. Mr..
Blatt is a man of medium size. He
has arms as large and nearly as
hard as the cannon, with green
running gear, that stood on the top
of the building with its mouth
open toward Brooklyn. About two
years ago he began playing at ball
with a cannon as pitcher. He
catches the ball on a level with his
face, and in one encounter with the
missile he wrecked a finger, and,
again, the ball mashed in his beard
less countenance.
Mr.. Blatt first made the specta-
tors look down the gun to see that
it had no spring concealed in its
mouth. Then a preliminary charge
of powder was turned into it and
fred off, after which Mr.. Blatt took
of bis diamond and other encum-
brances, mopped out the gun and
turned the cannon ball into the
niuzzle. The ball is y inches
around the waist. A charge of
powder was put into the breech.
loading cannon, and the spectators
in the front Of the gun lodged be-
hind a chimney. Mr.. Harding
stuffed pieces Of cotton in his ears
and took his place at the stern OF
the gun, while Mr.. Blatt went out
80 feet from it and looked the can.
non square in the mouth. "Fire J"
said Blatt. Mr.. Harding pulled
the string, the gun doomed, the ball
sailed gaily up and outward, and
Blatt caught it. There was brief
wrestle between the missile and the
man, and then the man went down
with a badly bruised finger and
the ball escaped. Mr.. Blatt danced
about the room in agony awhile,
and then declared that he would
have another bout with the ball if
it would kill him.
The cannon was again loaded,
and the catcher, with a bleeding
hand, braced himself and shouted
"Firew The cannon roared, not
very ferociouslY; the ball shot out,
and plucky Mr.. Blatt caught it,
and held 1t, too. Then the specta-
tors applauded, and Mr.. Blatts
feat, like the rich young favorite of
husband hunters, was declared the
greatest catch of the season.

WAGES IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

"Figures" seem to have a special
attraction for the average free
trader. There is scarcely any alb
snrdity that he cannot prove by
hgures-provided you let him make
his own figures. Well, here are
some figures that are not manufac.
tured for the occasion, or to prove
any pet theory, but come from an
official source. There are 852 blast
furnaces in Great Britain. Consul
General Waller has been investi-
eating the matter to ascertain how
the wages paid in those establish.
ments compare with those paid in
similar works in the United States.
Pittsburg, Pa, being the centre of
the iron trade In this country, the
following comparison is made with
the wages paid in a furnace there
and in one in England:

HUNDREDS MADE HOMELESS.
SINGULAR RESULT OF REAL rs
TATE SPECULATION IN
CHATTANOOGA.

a
A despatch from Chattanooga,
Tenn, says: "a singular difficulty
has arisen here as the result of the
real estate boom which has pre-.
vailed for three months. Some
time since syndicate OF capitalists
purchased a large tract of land al
most in the center of the city call
ed Stone Fort, which, on account
of its rocky and uneven condition,
has been allowed to become occu.
pied by colored tenants, at least
two hundred small houses having
been put up for their occupancy
These two hundred families since
the new purchase have been mott
fed to vacate this property at once,
aud they will have to leave. There
is not vacant house in the city
that they can get, and Chattanooga
is now confronted with the problem
of what to do with two hundred
families who are turned out OF
house and home.
"The purchasers propose to i'm.
prove the property, level it of and
make it available for business and
residences. The poor people will
have to get Off during the coming
week, and what to do with them
nobody knows. In several other
portions of the city where property
has heretofore been occupied by
poorer classes, and which property
has passed into new hands, the
tenants have also been ordered off
to make room for Improvements
It is safe to say that during the
coming week, il these notices are
insisted upon, there will be hun
dreds of homeless families in Chatta-
noogs, with no homes that they
can rent.D
